Update (Sun Dec 13 22:20:03 CET 2009): Vim is supported and scion is that useful that you shouldn't miss it. There are still some features lacking which Eclipse etc provide. You should definitely give it a try!

3.3 Grapefruit

3.3.1 Description

Grapefruit is a library for Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) with a focus on user interfaces. FRP makes it possible to implement reactive and interactive systems in a declarative style. With Grapefruit, user interfaces are described as networks of communicating widgets and windows. Communication is done via different kinds of signals which describe temporal behavior.

3.3.2 Possible subprojects

graphics support

Jeff Heard expressed interest in adapting Hieroglyph to work with Grapefruit.

The classic version of Grapefruit contains quite a bit of OpenGL-based 3D animation stuff which could be ported to the current Grapefruit version.

It currently only provides rudimentary functionality, such as loading a project and single-threaded background-typechecking. Currently, Scion's only frontend is Emacs, but a Vim frontend is in the underway. Possible Hackathon projects could be:
